INTRO: (listen to song for strumming)
Am E x4


Am F
I sold my soul for the second time
C E7 E
Cos the man don't pay me
Am F
I begged my landlord for some more time
C E7 E
He said son the bills waitin
Am F
My best friend called me the other night
C E7 E
He said man you crazy
Am F
My girlfriend told me to get a life
C E7 E
She said boy! You lazy!

CHORUS
Dm Am
But I don't mind
Dm Am
As long as theres a bed beneath the stars that shine
Dm Am
I'll be fine
F
If you give me a minute, a man's gotta limit
C E7
I can't get a life if my hearts not in itttt
